One-legged gathering

I thought it interesting how almost all the geese were standing around on one leg.

Best to view in "Original" because other versions resized by Pbase are decidedly unsharp.

Nice capture of these one legged Canada Geese doing their workout exercises, Helen. ~V

If only they had been ducks so i could say you really have your ducks in a row! I have had that said all of my life! This is a beautiful and well captured moment, Helen! V

I have heard about Pelicans standing in one leg, but never of Geese....V.

Great title and composition.

Nice capture, Helen! I have often wondered why they do that...

I expect they're on only one leg to preserve body heat.
